Absence of X670 leaks means no X670 will be available for the Zen 3 launch.
So i'm trying to put together an ITX build for Zen3 and currently the 2 boards i've narrowed it down to are the X570 - I Strix and the B550 - I Strix . I'm planning on getting the 4950X or 5950X (whatever they name it). I have a few issues with the X570 Strix as well as the B550 Strix. The X570 doesn't have a front Type C connection for my Case and doesn't have 2.5G Lan. The B550 has both these features but falls short on dual Gen 4 M.2 slots. With Zen 3 announcement right around the corner, is it safe to say there are no plans for X670 this launch? I would have liked a top end ITX X670 board with all the latest advancements for day one of the launch. I'm worried that there isn't any X670 in the works due to the severe lack of discussion and or leaks around it. I know there were articles in December 2019 about it but there hasn't really been any news lately. Should i just sacrifice and get the X570-I Strix or play the gamble and wait till 8th October to see the announcement and hope there isn't another motherboard apocalypse? Sorry for the long post, thanks for any help.
You're using a ROG Strix B450-I and plan to keep the CPU unchanged. The X670 chipset won't be needed for the upcoming release. It's best to choose a board now, as it won't affect your setup later.
Based on the timeline for AMD's B550 boards, it seems unlikely a 600 series motherboard will follow soon.
